Wooo... well I've been super busy and haven't done any new photoshoots of my pets...
However! I was hiking yesterday and came across this wild snake! I think it's a "brown snake" (amazingly creative common name there...) or Storeria dekayi
They are small native snakes that eat mostly earthworms, snails, and slugs.
Please note I would not recommend messing with a wild snake, especially if you cannot identify what it is. FWIW there are only four types of venomous snakes in North America: Rattlesnakes, copperheads, cottonmouths, and coral snakes. Even these will likely pose no threat if you just respect them and leave them alone :)

True! I guess I lump non-venomous snake bites with cat scratches - rather inconsequential, though some people I'm sure wouldn't like it!
(unless we're talking large, non-native constrictors, that is)
In general I try not to mess with wildlife at all but this guy was in the hiking trail and already almost stepped on :O
